An aircraft system is provided that includes a first gas turbine engine, a propulsor rotor, a second gas turbine engine, an electric generator and an electric component. The first gas turbine engine includes a first compressor section, a first combustor section, a first turbine section and a first flowpath. The propulsor rotor is rotatably driven by the first gas turbine engine. The second gas turbine engine includes a second compressor section, a second combustor section, a second turbine section and a second flowpath between a second inlet and a second exhaust. The second inlet and the second exhaust are each fluidly coupled with the first flowpath upstream of a combustor of the first combustor section. The electric generator is rotatably driven by the second gas turbine engine. The electric component receives electricity generated by the electric generator. The electric component is discrete from the first gas turbine engine.
